Dunkin' Donuts allegedly dished out a very hot, and very expensive cup of coffee ... a franchise in Georgia just settled a lawsuit over some spilled java for $3 million.

Here's the deal ... an elderly woman in Atlanta sued after claiming she suffered third-degree burns when her Dunkin' Donuts coffee spilled on her lap as she sat in her car in the drive-thru of a DD in Sugar Hill, GA.

The woman, represented by Benjamin Welch at Morgan & Morgan, claimed the lid was not secured on the coffee cup, causing a spill she says burned her body so badly she had to get extensive skin grafts and re-learn how to walk.

The law firm says the incident happened back in February 2021 ... and now there's been a settlement, with the woman set to receive $3 million from the Dunkin' Donuts franchisee.

Morgan & Morgan says the woman racked up more than $200k in medical bills, and still struggles with day-to-day life as a result of the burns, which require her to apply creams and ointments several times a day.

The lawsuit and settlement bring back memories of a famous 1994 lawsuit against McDonald's, when another woman claimed she was burned by hot coffee.

Dunkin 'Donuts sirvió una taza de café muy caliente y que también resultó ser muy cara, pues una franquicia en Georgia acaba de resolver una demanda sobre una taza derramada sobre un cliente, por una suma de $3 millones.

Esta es la cuestión, una anciana en Atlanta demandó a la marca después de reclamar que sufrió quemaduras de tercer grado cuando su café Dunkin Donuts se vertió en su regazo mientras estaba sentada en su coche en el autoservicio de Sugar Hill, GA.

La mujer, representada por Benjamin Welch de Morgan & Morgan, acusó que la tapa no estaba asegurada en el vaso, lo que causó el derrame que quemó su cuerpo y que fue tan grave que tuvo que recibir injertos de piel y hasta volver a aprender a caminar.

El bufete de abogados dice que el incidente ocurrió en febrero de 2021 y recién se ha llegado a un acuerdo con la demandante, quien recibirá $3 millones de la franquicia.

Morgan & Morgan dice que la mujer acumuló más de $200k en facturas médicas y todavía está lidiando en el día a día con las consecuencias de las quemaduras, las que requieren la aplicación de cremas y ungüentos varias veces al día.

La demanda y el acuerdo traen a la memoria una famosa demanda de 1994 contra McDonald's, en la que otra mujer afirmó haberse quemado con café caliente.

Dillon Danis says his hundreds of social media posts about Logan Paul's fiancée, Nina Agdal, were meant to be taken as a joke ... claiming he was only playing the role of "bad guy" to promote his recent boxing match.

The former Bellator MMA fighter spells it all out in court documents obtained by TMZ Sports ... in which he says his incessant trolling of the WWE Superstar and Sports Illustrated swimsuit model was clearly "parody, satire, comedy, farce or opinions" to draw interest to the Oct. 14 event.

In fact, Danis denies even having a real "feud" with Logan, who beat him in the Misfits boxing match via disqualification.

As we previously reported, Nina filed her complaint back in September ... saying Danis' actions caused "humiliation, emotional distress, and reputational harm," and accusing him of posting her explicit images without her consent.

Danis denies the claims ... saying anyone with internet would be able to access plenty of nude and semi-nude pictures of Agdal from her personal social media accounts.

As for his defense, Danis says his comments about Agdal are protected by the First Amendment ... as they're simply his opinion.

Danis is ready to defend himself in court ... and he's demanding a jury trial.

Dillon Danis dice que sus cientos de publicaciones en las redes sociales sobre la prometida de Logan Paul, Nina Agdal, estaban destinadas a ser tomadas como una broma ... afirmando que solo estaba jugando el papel de "chico malo" para promover su reciente pelea de boxeo.

El ex luchador de Bellator MMA lo explica todo en documentos judiciales obtenidos por TMZ Sports, en los que dice que su incesante troleo hacia la Superestrella de la WWE y la modelo de trajes de baño de Sports Illustrated eran claramente "parodia, sátira, comedia y una farsa" para atraer el interés al evento del 14 de octubre.

De hecho, Danis niega incluso tener una verdadera "enemistad" con Logan, que le venció en el combate de boxeo Misfits por descalificación.

Como informamos anteriormente, Nina presentó su denuncia en septiembre, diciendo que las acciones de Danis causaron "humillación, angustia emocional y daño a su reputación", además, lo acusó de publicar imágenes explícitas sin su consentimiento.

Danis niega las afirmaciones, diciendo que cualquier persona con Internet sería capaz de acceder a un montón de fotos de desnudos y semidesnudos de Agdal desde sus cuentas personales de redes sociales.

En cuanto a su defensa, Danis dice que sus comentarios sobre Agdal están protegidos por la Primera Enmienda, ya que son simplemente su opinión.

Kurt Cobain's daughter and Tony Hawk's son are now husband and wife, with a celeb musician acting as their wedding day officiant ... TMZ has learned.

Frances Bean Cobain and Riley Hawk tied the knot earlier this month in Los Angeles after getting a marriage license in September down in San Diego County ... according to docs obtained by TMZ.

The couple's marriage certificate says they got hitched Oct. 7 and the celeb who performed the ceremony is none other than former R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe!!!

BTW ... Stipe is also Frances' godfather, and her godmother is Drew Barrymore.

Frances and Riley have been in a relationship since at least January 2021 ... and it's her second marriage, his first.

TMZ broke the story ... Frances filed for divorce from her first husband, musician Isaiah Silva, in March 2016 after less than 2 years of marriage and they ended up fighting for custody of one of Kurt's guitars.

No word on a honeymoon yet, but it seems like the world's their oyster -- let's face it, both come from very successful, wealthy families.

Oops, Britney Spears lo hizo de nuevo. Al menos, según cuenta el oficial que detuvo a la cantante conduciendo por el sur de California, y esta vez, su infracción fue traspasar las molestas líneas dobles.

De acuerdo con los registros judiciales obtenidos por TMZ, Britney recibió una multa de tráfico a principios de este mes después de que fuera detenida por la Patrulla de Carreteras de California (CHP en inglés) por supuestamente hacer un giro indebido.

Se dice que Brit cruzó la doble línea, un gran no para los que conocen la ley, y fue castigada con una multa de $327, con fecha de pago al 21 de noviembre.

Como informamos, Britney fue detenida el mes pasado por un oficial de CHP en el condado de Ventura. Fuentes policiales nos dijeron que fue detenida por andar a exceso de velocidad en su Mercedes blanco y por conducir sin una licencia válida y prueba de seguro.

Oops, Britney Spears did it again -- at least according to the officer who pulled the singer over yet again in Southern California ... and this time, they say she crossed those pesky double lines.

According to court records, obtained by TMZ, Britney got a traffic ticket earlier this month ... after she was pulled over by California Highway Patrol for allegedly making an improper turn.

It says Brit crossed over double lines -- a big no-no for those who know the law -- and was hit with a $327 fine, which is now due by Nov. 21.

As we reported, Britney was pulled over last month by a CHP officer in Ventura County ... law enforcement sources told us she was stopped for speeding in her white Mercedes and was eventually cited for driving without a valid license in her possession and proof of insurance.

She had to cough up $1,140 in fines to clear those up -- but online records show she paid off the balance. Hey, at least she doesn't have two fines to focus on!

The iconic home from "Halloween" where Jamie Lee Curtis' character once lived has a new owner ... making a killing in the sale just in time for the pinnacle night of spooky season.

The South Pasadena, CA home that served as a filming location for the 1978 horror flick has officially sold for $1.68 million -- it hit the market last month for $1.8M but hey, still not bad for a place with such a gory pedigree!

TMZ broke the story, the house where teenage Laurie Strode sat out front holding a pumpkin in the film has been turned into a 3-unit property, with the potential for the garage space to be converted into a 4th spot as an ADU (accessory dwelling unit).

The first unit is a large 1-bedroom suite with a large porch, the second has 3 beds and 1 bath, and the third is a 1-bed, 1-bath. In other words, the buyer's gonna be able to make some great rental income with the space.

The Strode home had been in the real owner's family their grandparents lived there -- building the second structure over the garage back in 1948.

Heidi Babcock and Andrea Marcum-Valentine of eXp Realty of Los Angeles held the listing.

La icónica casa de "Halloween", donde el personaje de Jamie Lee Curtis vivió una vez ha encontrado un nuevo propietario, justo a tiempo para las fiestas.

¡El sur de Pasadena, California, casa que sirvió como lugar de rodaje de la película de terror de 1978 se ha vendido oficialmente por $1.68 millones de dólares. Llegó al mercado el mes pasado por $1.8 millones, pero bueno, no está mal para un lugar con una (falsa) historia sangrienta.

TMZ publicó la historia, la casa donde la adolescente Laurie Strode se enfrentó al mal, se convirtió en una propiedad de tres unidades, con el potencial para el espacio de garaje para ser convertido en un cuarto.

La primera unidad es una gran suite de un dormitorio, el segundo tiene tres camas y un baño, y el tercero es un 1/cama, 1/baño. En otras palabras, el comprador va a ser capaz de hacer algunos grandes ingresos de alquiler con el espacio.

La casa Strode ha estado en la familia del propietario real desde los abuelos de los vendedores vivían allí. La construcción de la segunda estructura sobre el garaje en 1948.

Jennifer López finalmente ha dejado su apartamento de soltera en California, cortando oficialmente los lazos con la última parte de su vida de soltera antes de casarse con Ben Affleck el año pasado.

Fuentes de bienes raíces le dicen a TMZ que J Lo recientemente vendió su mansión de Bel-Air por la suma de 34 millones de dólares. Ella hizo un buen negocio si tenemos en cuenta que la compró en 2016 por alrededor de 28 millones.

En todo caso no es la suma que ella hubiera querido, el precio de este lugar a principios de año fue de $42.5 millones de dólares, por lo que tuvo que conformarse un poco para deshacerse de él.

Aun así, nos dicen que la venta fue un récord para la zona así que todavía hay razones para celebrar.

La finca cuenta con una enorme casa principal, incluyendo nueve dormitorios, trece baños, una piscina infinita, sala de proyección de 30 asientos, un gimnasio, una casa de huéspedes, un anfiteatro extra de 100 asientos y mucho más.

Recordemos que Ben también se deshizo de su casa, justo cuando se casó con Jen.

Jen y Ben han abandonado sus respectivas propiedades individuales que poseían antes de casarse luego de comprado una enorme mansión en Beverly Hills que refleja su riqueza colectiva... la increíble suma de 60 millones de dólares.

Rick Ross isn't buying Jay-Z's answer to that ol' question -- $500k or dinner with him -- because the MMG rapper says his personal experience with Jay netted him way more cash!!!

Jay-Z shot down all the folks who'd opt for the dinner, thinking he'd say something life-changing that would make the meal more valuable than a half a million dollars -- but Rozay begs to differ.

Ahead of the release of his "Trilla" album in 2008, Rozay says he had dinner with Jay at Philippe Chow in NYC, where the Roc Nation boss instructed him to write songs for their intended impact ... as opposed to just rapping over beats he liked.

Ross remembers cutting his workload in half and seeing his stock rise -- it pays to work smarter, not harder!!!

Jay hopped on the album as well ... kicking off the famed "Maybach Music" series and Rozay says his career catapulted to another level.

Now, that being said ... Rick walked into that dinner with Jay already being a talented artist ... so, he understands why a normie -- without that kinda head start -- would take the money and run.

Jennifer Lopez has finally unloaded her bachelorette pad in Cali -- officially cutting ties with the last part of her single life -- before marrying Ben Affleck last year.

Real estate sources tell TMZ, J Lo recently sold her Bel-Air mansion for a cool $34 million -- this after first listing it back in February. She made a nice profit, especially when you consider she first bought it in 2016 for about $28 mil.

Of course, it's not nearly as much as she would've liked -- the price tag on this place earlier in the year was $42.5 mil, so she had to take a bit off the top to get rid of it.

Still, we're told the sale was a record for the area -- so there's still reason to celebrate.

The estate features a huge main house ... including 9 bedrooms, 13 baths, an infinity pool, 30-seat screening room, a gym, a guest house, an extra 100-seat amphitheater and more.

Remember, Ben also got rid of his own spot, right around the same time he married Jen.

Jen and Ben have moved on up from their respective individual properties they owned before getting hitched -- having purchased a massive mansion in Bev Hills that reflects their collective wealth ... a whopping $60 million.

Blueface was lucky to only get probation for his involvement in a shooting at a Vegas strip club, but he's now been ordered to pay an astonishing $13 million in damages to the club's owner.

According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, Euphoric Gentleman's Club sued Blueface over the incident, claiming his business was ruined because of the shooting incident ... and just won summary judgment in the amount of $13,072,482.

If you missed it, the club's owner erupted following the shooting, calling for Blueface's arrest and then some ... and now the court agrees he's gotta pay up.

The whopping bill is broken down into several categories ... $12.6 million in lost revenue, lease damages of $198K, $84k in payroll expenses to employees who had to be paid following the club's Nov. 2022 shutdown, and more.

BF received a suspended sentence after taking a plea deal in the criminal case related to the incident, meaning he'll only have 3 years of probation and won't be serving any time behind bars if he keeps his nose clean.

42 Dugg's wasting no time delivering his first song since getting outta prison ... the Detroit rapper is already celebrating his "first day out" with a new track!!!

We previously reported Yo Gotti took Dugg straight to the studio after he was sprung free after serving over a year for illegal gun possession, and Monday we got the end result ... the defiant "Go Again" single, giving fans the impression he kept his pen sharp while behind bars.

The Diesel Films video captures more footage of Gotti and Dugg's initial exchange before he reunited with his other exec connect, none other than Lil Baby.

The "We Paid" rappers picked up like they never left ... parting ways with plenty of cash inside Magic City for the hard-working dancers.

Mary Lou Retton has just taken a huge step in her fight to beat pneumonia ... she's been released from the ICU -- and is now at home recovering.

One of the Olympic legend's daughters, McKenna, shared the good news on her Instagram page on Monday ... thanking doctors, nurses and fans for everything they've done to get her to this point.

"We still have a long road of recovery ahead of us," McKenna wrote, "but baby steps."

Retton was first admitted into the ICU earlier this month after contracting a rare form of pneumonia ... and while initially her family was pleased with her progress, they said she suffered a "pretty scary setback" last week.

Seems, though, Retton has battled past that ... something her family is obviously overjoyed about.

"We are overwhelmed with the love and support from everyone," McKenna said. "Grateful doesn't scrape the surface of the posture of our hearts."

Mary Lou Retton acaba de dar un gran paso en su lucha por vencer a la neumonía. Fue dada de alta de la UCI y ahora se está recuperando en casa.

Una de las hijas de la leyenda olímpica, McKenna, compartió la buena noticia en su página de Instagram el lunes, agradeciendo a los médicos, enfermeras y a los fans por todo lo que han hecho para llegar a este punto.

"Todavía tenemos un largo camino de recuperación por delante", escribió McKenna, "pero estamos dando pequeños pasos".

Retton fue admitida por primera vez en la UCI a principios de este mes después de contraer una rara forma de neumonía, y aunque inicialmente su familia estaba contenta con su progreso, confirmaron que sufrió un "aterrador revés" la semana pasada.

Parece, sin embargo, que lo peor ha pasado, algo por lo que su familia está obviamente, muy contenta

"Estamos abrumados con el amor y el apoyo de todos", dijo McKenna. "Decir agradecidos no raspa ni la superficie de la postura de nuestros corazones".
